Mueller Wants the FBI to Look at a Scheme to Discredit Him https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/10/special-counsel-refers-scheme-targeting-mueller-to-fbi/574411/ “When we learned last week of allegations that women were offered money to make false claims about the Special Counsel, we i...

From what friends who were there told me, they did have periods where they had a private party or parties for donors. There were also capacity issues as it attracted a lot of people. A problem was probably that the plane was not "open" all the time, so there were only certain times that people could...

Gotta make the "Tsar" Mutant Vehicle: a mutant vehicle so huge and unreasonable as to be unfunctional. Some may say it has already been made. Didn't they transport the Space Shuttle on one of those 747s? We could strap one of those on top too! Or maybe the 747 on top of a giant Space Shuttle just to...

Yeah, I'm kind of in "meh" territory myself. While I recognize that it was a major feat bringing something like that to the playa (and eventually getting it off it), as an art car or exhibit it's just a big -- really big -- hacked up amputated plane. I kind of want to see something more, or evolving.

After having brought more and more of the plane each year, I believe what was brought this year represents the final scope of the project. While I'm sure they'll want to bring it back, and that it was quite a feat to bring it, I kind of want to see them either do more with it or not bring it back. Y...

No alcohol there even, but I was once asked by someone if I had some and my BM narc-detection-senses started tingling, but then I just truthfully said that I didn't have any. Anyway, what the hell, did I look like I was inebriated?
And what, I'm going to give some rando lush a sip of a flask?

I usually head for the self-greeter line. I know it has taken away greeter jobs, and the automated voice behind monitor always pisses me off telling me how to burn before I put my shit in the bag, but it just seems to save me time.

This just in, the important news of the hour: Shaggy 2 Dope Of Insane Clown Posse Attempts To Dropkick Limp Bizkit Front-Man Fred Durst On-Stage "A truly “insane” situation just went down as the recent Rock Allegiance Festival came to an end in at the BB&T Pavilion in Camden, NJ last night. It has b...

You can train basic stuff using machine learning using something like Tensorflow. There are examples and such. It'll take quite a bit of training data, or the data that is often freely available, but it'll help you a lot to have an idea of what you want the models to do before you dive into it.

It was a pretty big fuckup not having an adequate plan to get the plane off the playa, the paperwork in order, and the research/testing/surveying/engineering/etc. to ensure that the plane could physically leave (or even enter) the site without much disturbance. Part of that was the BMORG not requiri...

Yeah, I could see the need for a quick entry line bypassing the greeters station (note gate though) if it's not that important to get your hugs and all that. Maybe it'd come in handy for multiple trips, etc. or people returning. Is it even that bad? I remember that I actually had to change lanes to ...

It's not as if the money and resources thrown at that project would have or could have directly translated into other projects. People donated and people put their time into that particular project. Maybe people wouldn't have put such efforts into many smaller projects, as compared to the grand sing...

Some camps have shipping containers that are purchased ($3,600) and stored offsite each year to be delivered on-playa by the service ($700/yr fee). It's called the BRC Storage Program. It may be that. Otherwise it might just be a private company that does it.

I remember bringing a high-powered hand-held laser to BM and using it, including at the Man burn. While cool, the unwanted attention it brought, with every person and their hubby wanting to try it out made it so I was really reluctant to use it. It certainly didn't add much to the event painting the...

Oh the money part was more versus other stuff like I what I brought for my shake. Even so, 12 bottles for $32 isn't that bad anyway. I hate cooking out there, so I'll often just go and buy some tasty premade sandwiches at a sandwich chain and have that for some "good" meals. Some cold pizza is good ...

While I don't buy Soylent because I don't want to pay that much for it and do like eating (chewing) food sometimes, I bring a box of protein drinks and that makes things a lot easier. If I need to have some food in me and leave quickly, I'll just pound one, munch on some finger-food vegis or other s...

Put in your request like any other camp. You can list what you did in previous years even if your camp hasn't attended in the immediate past for some time. You'll also need to provide info on what you're planning on doing this year as well.

You should probably contact the people at Burning Man (bottom) and see what they have to say. While you probably wouldn't be prohibited from attaching it to a costume or prop or something, you may be restricted in what you can do with it, when, and where, much like fire performance art.
